-For a great discussion ​on various techniquessee this KM Forum thread: +Note that it is generally not a great idea to pause for a long period of time - the macro might be interrupted,​ the situation ​on the Mac might changethe Mac might go to sleep, and also Keyboard Maestro Engine will be wasting CPU doing nothing while the macro runs.
